Sneak Peek - Renault Scenic. The French Renaulution continues! 

Actually looking forward to seeing one of these. Had two Scenics when kids were little T and 02 plates and both were great cars. Got the Megane Etech and if that’s anything to go by Renault will have put together a great EV Scenic.

Love and hate videos like this. I only found this channel recently, about a week after I got my new car in fact. I was still really unsure about going completely electric, so I got a plug in hybrid. The Renault Captur. I don't work too far, so I've done nearly all 350 miles on electric, fuel level hasn't changed. So naturally I'm now feeling like I should have just gone full electric, and when I see cars like this, it really drives home the point. Your review of the Megane had me feeling the same way. So for now, I'll just have to wait until I replace it in a few years, but I shall continue to torture myself by watching AutoEV. 😅

Great review & another well thought out Renault 👌. We recently got a new Megane Etech (Iconic) & its a fantastic motor, smooth, powerful, decent tech & very comfy, it just makes you smile everytime you drive it ( I've never thought much of Renaults before, or purchased one until the Megane Etech), so I've no doubt this will be another great car to own & drive. You did miss the excellent digital rear view mirror on this one, its strange for the first 5mins when you first use it & then it becomes normal, the camera view is crystal clear & wide & its much better than a standard mirror! There were also phone pockets on the rear of the front seats for back passengers too 😉 The megane etech comes with a deep boot too & to be fair I wasn't sure how much i'd like it with my bad neck / back, but it fits loads of my work cases in etc & other things & it stops things sliding everywhere while you drive which is better than a flat floor for 90% of the time you use a boot, so Its actually better most of the time. Now i've gone EV I'm never going back to ICE vehicles, EVs are sooooo much better & the 220bhp on the Renaults is seriously fun to drive too! Keep em coming Renault

Firstly may I say how much I love your reviews I think you do a great job, I am also looking forward to you testing one of these as it’s on my list alongside the Megane To purchase soon, the sooner the better please

Like the look of it, but as I’m getting older, the thought of that deep boot puts me off. Would also prefer something other than a third stalk as a gear selector. Great ‘first thoughts’ from you as ever.

Another excellent review, detailed & informative 👏🏽

Enjoy your reviews, so thank you. As a regular viewer of your reviews here in Australia, it would help a lot if, in all of your reviews, you listed the Kilometres as well as Miles when talking about vehicle range. I understand this is a UK based channel, hence why you focus on Miles, but as someone who lives in a world of Kms, not Miles, that section of your review always becomes a bit meaningless unless I get out a calculator to convert. You don't necessarily have to speak about the Kms, just include them in your on-screen graphics like at 22:00 eg RANGE WLTP: 260 Miles / 418km (standard range) WLTP: 380 Miles / 611km (long range) Thanks and keep up the good work.

Great info. Thanks. Can't wait to see the prices for next year. This has to be my next car. Next year.

I really like your reviews. So comprehensive and informative - lots of factual information and good video which provides a proper evaluation of the car that you are assessing. I also find myself agreeing with so many of your comments whether it is of the Scenic, the Megane E-Tech (of which I am an owner) or the updated Tesla M3. I work for a used EV dealer so get to drive many different EVs and whilst people will look for different things and there are few bad EVs I am still looking for that elusive one that really meets my requirements. Whilst it has in in some areas slipped behind more modern EVs I cannot bear to part with my BMW i3s albeit it is now a second car. It is just so easy to live with. Who needs a touch screen when you have an iDrive controller? With ACC it has an adequate level of tech and the cabin ambiance with the Lodge interior and a sunroof still makes it a lovely place to sit. The Scenic is too big a car for my needs but I really think Renault are on a roll and their new EV models are IMHO really blowing all my perceptions of not just the Renault brand but the design and quality of their latest cars. I had the opportunity to have a preview of the new Peugeot 3008 and was quite disappointed. Peugeot has clearly taken some inspiration from the Megane E-Tech but the execution was lacking. I may though have been somewhat prejudiced by my dislike by the i cockpit instrument and steering wheel positioning.

High quality. You’ve convinced me to go for a Megane E-tech. Can’t wait!

This looks better than new Peugeot 3008 for me; this looks like what I thought the Peugeot would look like.

With all EVs I like a space up front to store cables. My Niro hasn’t a factory fitted on but I bought an after market frunk.

Love to size of the boot but a do like a level loading!

Excellent video with very good writing. Have never thought of Stalltis group until this video. It would be good to have a car where if parts are needed they are nearer than the slow boat from China. The range on the big battery will tempting to remove any range anxiety for just about all my use.

Looking very promising

Good looking car. Price as ever is key.

Love your intros. Reminds me of tomorrows world 🙂

Is the roof scratched? If even the demo car.. lets say im sceptical to glass roof.. to hot when its hot an vv.

good range for a suv !

There is a Danish car reviewer who's reporting, that the Scenic will feature Apples next generation CarPlay, where that will be visible not only on the huge screen, but also the cockpit, so it's only Apple across both screens. The weird thing is that from all the videos I've seen of the Scenic reviews, the Danish guy has been the only person so far who has reported this. He wrote me that he heard this from Renault, but I'm wondering why nobody else is mentioning this, considering the high anticipation this next-generation CarPlay has. Have you heard something about this?

Lovely car, inside and out. What a dreadful shame that it's not available as a Petrol.....because I am not buying an EV till forces to do so.

5:46 it's not 4 meter long or 'there about'. It's 4.47 meter long,

Land of hope and glory 👍 beautiful reference to classic music! Now the prices are revealed, I am in shock, positive shock! Basically its the same pricing like Megane! And Megane now dropped like minus 8k€? Wow.

Dont bet on that screen coming to the UK. Still not on the Megane here.

3 stalks on the right hand side of the wheel 🤔 is that really needed in 2023?

That boot looks too small. Not wide or deep enough horizontally... The new Grandland Ev looks more decent

to me it just reminds me of the nissan parts share again with the aria larger battery

No thank you, I'll just hang on to my old Espace IV until the wheels come off.

0:47 “Renault Zoe …… a really, really good small EV” The Renault Zoe (Mk2) is not a good car at least not if you are concerned about occupant safety. The Mk2 is actually less safe than the MK 1 due to deletion of some safety kit. In fact it is only the third car in history to achieve an NCAP safety rating of ZERO stars. 👏👏👏

Renault Is best winter car.

that dash is far to high, its creating a massive blind spot

We had a MkII Scenic which had an engine in the front but the innovation of virtually no bonnet - this is an ev with no engine but a massive space-wasting 'bonnet'; am I missing something? No usp or flair like the originals, just another tedious 'crossover'.

Cod looking car, not dissimilar to the new 3008?

Not much revolutionary on SUV nor MPV design. Way to long a nose for an EV. Renault Design is all over the place. ETech is sleek. This is rugged and doesn't resemble Renault design.

oh look another suv

Pretty, it ain’t, attractive it ain’t. Prefer the MeganEV

Boring man

Im frustrated with Renault as well. all those arkanas, rafales, australes, new espaces are so annoying in design. such a downgrade :( just terrible.

Just another evidence that people are just getting stupider and stupider.... The only way our car design should go is to be more like K-cars!!!!
